Default Glove Compartment Door Jammed. Help.

Tried to open glove box door and found it jammed. It unlatches but only opens about 1/8 inch. How can I disassemble it to get inside? :mad

Chuckster - got it open thanks to you. I used a painters 5 in 1 tool which slid right in but I had to root around for a while. It still didn't open but the tool let me get the door opened about 1/4 inch. Between probing with the tool and just plain trying to pull the door opened, I popped the door open. The little leather tab on the owner's manual leather case apparently wedged itself in the latch assembly and wouldn't let the lock completely unlatch. It's open now and the lock works. Thanks a lot for your FAST help. :cheers:
